Hi Dan,

I'd be thrilled to sponsor you if you'd like to be a developer.
Failing which, one of Kushal or myself can officially propose the
package, with your help in case we run into problems.

Fedora packaging guidelines currently does not allow for optional
dependencies (recommendations/suggestions) -- athough I believe
openSUSE and Mandriva use them. So I'd say it depends on whether it
adds substantial functionality or not; if not, maybe a mention in a
README.Fedora file suggesting the other package be installed is
sufficient.

Let me know what you think.

Best,
